Signs of a SECRET office romance

A romance in the office becomes the talk of the town and somehow colleagues get a great kick by discussing office couples. Judgments are at their best and people notice two individuals like never before even if they were a “nobody” for you earlier. But how do you get to know if the two have been secretly seeing each other? Here are 5 signs you got to read into if you have been looking for some fun gossip at work!

2/7

Arrival in sync

No the two will never come together but always a few minutes apart. Like all couples, they travel together most of the time and generally the two people attracted to each other tend to reach office together. But to hide it from their co-workers, they try to reach office a few minutes apart so as to throw them off the track.

3/7

Taking breaks together

They might be in different departments but sometimes they tend to take breaks together. One leaves for a break 10 minutes before or after. If you are one of those curious people, go down and see, you will either find both of them missing or they are simply sitting in the same group.

4/7

Body language

This is in fact the first sign to check. Those dating give off a different vibe altogether. They involuntarily show body language signs which are warmer, considerate and well you can feel the connection at times when they are in the same room. If you are a little more attentive, you will definitely notice it.

5/7

Eye contact

Sometimes either he or she or even both try to not show it otherwise but they do make eye contact and it is unmissable! It is not your regular in-conversation look but a more fascinated and over-the-moon look. Some people try to avoid it so consciously that it becomes obvious and they cannot help it. If nothing else, the other one’s face might be glowing when talking to his or her person. Noticed?

6/7

Changed dressing sense

He or she had been otherwise wearing simple clothes but suddenly they do have something extra on or done to themselves. Their hair looks in place and even more stylish, makeup has become more crisp. The eyes are kohled or paid more attention to. The shoes and bags have become trendier than before. The collar and cuffs are crisp. And do notice the change in perfume.

7/7

You find them near each other

Couples keep looking for each other and that comes naturally to them. They try to find each other in office and look for reasons to be in the same room. Forced meetings and sometimes “group lunches” and do keep an eye on how they synchronise the usage of lifts at your workplace.
